Off Panel #58: Glitterbomb, Auto Tuned with Jim Zub

By David Harper

September 5, 2016

Writer Jim Zub joins the show this week to talk his brand new Image title that launches this week, Glitterbomb. Zub talks what Glitterbomb is all about, the horror of the reality of the story, how he works out hard storytelling beats, the amazing that is artist Djibril Morissette, how this book differs from the rest of his work, the motives of the book’s lead, building hype without spoiling your own book, the incredible creative team, how important promoting your own work is in comics, before closing with five questions about poutine, Canada, Overwatch and more.

Important note: there were technical difficulties in recording this episode, so there are some issues in the sound quality.

You can find Jim on Twitter, his website and his work in Thunderbolts, Wayward, and in the first issue of Glitterbomb this Wednesday.
